Jhawrian

Jhawarian is a village near the Jhelum River in Sargodha, Pakistan.

The village's history extends back to six hundred years, when the district was settled by Bhatti Raj tribes people migrating from Pindi Bhatian. The agricultural possibilities of the place and the proximity of the river made it suitable for settlement. A police station in the village dates back to 1905, and was built by the British administration of the Punjab.

Jhawarian is located on the Sher Shah Suri highway, between Shah Pur and Behra, and three kilometres from Kalrah : having the highest MINAAR in JAMIa MASJID which was constructed by Malik Khizar Hayat Tiwana.

Sardar Khizar Hayat Tiwana, the first Governor of Indian Punjab, was a resident.
